Giveaway win and stuff

Hi everyone! So sorry to hear about all the snow in the Northeast, stay safe and warm, and please don't send it my way!! We have been having beautiful weather but chilly during the nights. Halloween will be nice for the kids...high of 65.

I recently won Pat's giveaway over at her blog and oh my word!! This pin cushion is just beyond beautiful!! So much detail on it. Didn't she do great work on it? She also sent me a vintage cross stitched towel, a wonderful beaded bracelet (beautiful also), and a sweet little french note card to use. Thanks so much Pat! I love everything!











Well I did have some pictures of some goodies that I bought at the last estate sale but I can't find them!! I had gotten 2 pin cushions, some cute hat pins, a granite pitcher and I think that was it.

Here is an updated picture of my sewing machine display



Well I believe that's all I have for you today. It's been pretty boring around here, haven't done anything but stitch. So my next post should have all new cross stitched pin keeps for you to see. Oh, I did pick up another merchandising job. So now that's 3 jobs that I work. The new one is weekly so that is even better. I have also decided that the pack of cigarettes that I opened this morning will be my last. Yup...I'm quitting. I gotta!! Wish me luck on this cuz I'm gonna need it. I've done it before so I can do it again!!

Take care everyone, have a wonderful week and a happy Halloween!!

Some past events....

...that I haven't posted about. I know I know, bad me!!

A couple of weeks ago (ok, it was longer than that), we had my mom's 80th birthday open house. She had a great turn-out and I think it went really well. This picture is of me and my sister's and my mom. I'm on the far left. I only get along with the sister that is blond and unfortunately she lives in Alabama so I'm lucky to see her once a year. (2nd from right).



The table decorations were really simple and I forgot to go back and find out whose idea this was, except I used floating candles instead of flowers. So thanks to whoever that was that gave the idea.



And then the weekend after the birthday party, my daughter and grandson came back for a visit. I don't get to see them often since she has a DUI and can't drive. Can't believe she did that!! Anyway, my mom showed up also so I got some 4 generation pictures of us. Don't we all look excited??



Here is one of Landon, my gs eating.


And then here is one that just has the 3 of us without Landon.

Yes, I do have that nasty habit and that is a cigarette in my hand!

I have been sick since Wednesday, not sure what it is but I'm still not feeling right today. My breathing is off, I do know that (gosh, could it be that I smoke??). I should probably go to the doc. tomorrow. I have also picked up a new merchandising position, I'm with Foster Grant now also, so that gives me about 8 more stores in my area to do. The service calls are usually only once a month, but it still gets me out and about so I'm not shut in all day every day. I did get to the Estate Sale and I have some goodies to show but I haven't even taken pictures yet so that will be another post. Hopefully soon!! Well I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and hope you have a wonderful week!

I have about had it....

with Blogger!! I can post about twice and then I can't do anything. I sign in, then sign out, then sign in, make sure the "keep me signed in" isn't checked, I leave my comment and it dissapears into thin air!! And it's happening on all the blogs, moderated or not. I'm so frustrated. Anyone else having problems??
